Two versions of a text based work by electronic music composer Anthony J. Gnazzo. This serves as another fine example of one of the many word-tape compositions Gnazzo is known for.

An hour of word compositions by composer Anthony Gnazzo on KPFA's Ode To Gravity, 1971. Born in Plainville, Connecticut, in 1936, Gnazzo has resided in Oakland, California, since 1968 and is regarded as one of the most talented but hermetic West Coast Fluxus-influenced sound and visual poets.

Part I: Ramon Sender: Tropical Fish Opera (1962) Douglas...
